The Story in Brief
Several people were wounded in a shooting in the Danish town of Holbaek on Sunday. Police received the report at around 3:45 pm local time and said the incident is suspected to be linked to a dispute between criminal groups. Officers were deployed at several locations in the town, about 70 km west of Copenhagen.
Preliminary information indicates the suspects fled in a white car. Police have urged anyone with information to come forward. The condition of the victims has not been disclosed. The Times of India quotes AFP in reporting the police presumption that this is a settling of scores within the criminal milieu.
The Indian Opinion
Shootings in small Danish towns often attract exaggerated fears of organised crime spreading everywhere. This incident may indeed be a gang feud, but one localised event does not signal a national crisis. The key test will be the number of arrests in the coming days and whether the feud escalates. Until then, treat the police label as what it is: a working assumption.
